Verse One: Black Thought[00:04:36]
Southeast to Pennsylvania, Transporation Authority[00:04:36]
is what I'm probably on, if I ain't whippin a Land[00:04:36]
throughout ya sec-tion, my mind's in traum'[00:04:36]
Nine times out of time I rhymes upon the L Train[00:04:36]
Within my brain, foun-tains over rugged moun-tains[00:04:36]
of my terrain, diggit I came too far to front[00:04:36]
So I'm meditatin on how to maintain[00:04:36]
Stepped off at City Hall into the rain;[00:04:36]
and ran into my ni**a named Dane - I mean Hakeem[00:04:36]
And we was buildin on how we could organize the team[00:04:36]
for this capital gain bein that we in the rap game[00:04:36]
It's time to have it all, he said he figured he same[00:04:36]
We realized this a planet of CREAM, to obtain[00:04:36]
when the predominant rap, conglomerate rap spark the flame[00:04:36]
Hark the name, The Fifth from the Ill-Power Hill at that[00:04:36]
He dropped me off within the streets of South Phil'[00:04:36]
Where niggaz think that killing's living real[00:04:36]
Shorties is getting wetted, fulfilling their fantasies to set it[00:04:36]
We don't sweat it, by The Fifth you get beheaded[00:04:36]
I pivot through my borough givin pounds to the dreaded[00:04:36]
At the lye spots I got credit; could run em down[00:04:36]
in alphabetic-al order it's sorta pathetic[00:04:36]
Yo, I'm livin life within a labryinth of nonsense[00:04:36]
This is a consequence of being Philly residents[00:04:36]
Tryin to get it on, the rhythm gettin shitted on[00:04:36]
The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo[00:04:36]
[Black Thought[00:04:36]

Verse Two: Malik B[00:04:36]
I walk through this field with 'iminals[00:04:36]
Ill die-hard soldiers, try to make it to-wards the generals[00:04:36]
Hard-headed rugged captains, walkin head on through action[00:04:36]
Turnkeys on the closed caption[00:04:36]
I bring the skills of wizardry[00:04:36]
Treat MC's with bigotry, so now you see the picture vividly[00:04:36]
Seduce your brain from the temple over instrumentals[00:04:36]
The Fifth chant, you see the exhaust out[00:04:36]
the swift camp -- mannerism is to scan your vision[00:04:36]
You see the light, you can't eclipse the sun[00:04:36]
We call back the young, but still they'll strap a gun[00:04:36]
to shoot caps that spook cats and rappers hung[00:04:36]
Now you might tube across from the diners where you find em lost[00:04:36]
Niggaz hearts so cold, they sport frost[00:04:36]
The M-the-Illi-tant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp[00:04:36]
You're now a victim of reality, my personality[00:04:36]
afflicted, for three to five if convicted[00:04:36]
Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted[00:04:36]
It ain't no pity in this inner city niggaz f**kin[00:04:36]
Exquisite I exhibit the shine now check it out[00:04:36]

Verse Three: Bahamadia[00:04:36]
Inclined to rap about facts, I never fake jacks[00:04:36]
Sh*t is Real like E packs, forty-fifty-sixes[00:04:36]
Trims and gimmicks, couldn't faze the true heartache[00:04:36]
when I first started, but then few remember this[00:04:36]
Anti-Gangsta B**ch, sporting new jew-als[00:04:36]
Plain Jane styles internal, to the naked eye[00:04:36]
Derived from mindstates of Cold Crush tapes[00:04:36]
and beat breaks seduced by means to elevate[00:04:36]
Equates my views with the passing[00:04:36]
Those matching this intellect identify, for like minds[00:04:36]
Intertwine one thought in uni-son[00:04:36]
We exquisite I exhibit the shine, ahhh[00:04:36]
